BTW does anyone know how that BOV is supposed to mount?
|
On a TurboXS fitting.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Type-...spagenameZWDVW I have a weld on somewhere around here. I'll have to look but $10 if you want it. If your going the DIY route the valve will fit the OD of a 1" copper pipe fitting. Use a 2x1x2 copper T and it works. |
Is it aluminum? I'm thinking I'll mount the BOV to the pass side endtank to help keep it clean underhood, and for ease of install.
|
AEM = easiest thing I've ever installed ever.
|
^ speaking of AEM, I just ordered a Truboost EBC from WOT. That ought to be a pretty easy install.
Only thing I'm worried about is the MS install. I don't want to mess anything expensive up... |
beefy...lol.
What's up with all the vw techs and turbo miatas? I almost bought colorado extreme like that too. |
:scratches head:
MS has built in EBC |
I thought it was something you had to add? Wouldn't you have to add the solenoid?
hustler - my brother in law is the VW tech, and I know WOT is a VW guy too. Any others? |
yeah you add the solenoid, which also means 2 wires. The solenoid is $17.
|
eh well. I needed a gauge too, haha.
that's my justification and I'm sticking to it. |
ok, well we can probably just use the ms to control boost with the aem solenoid. then you use the aem for its digital gauge, which approximately matches the aem wideband. it'll work. :bigtu:
|
I was thinking, if you were to come to Augusta and walk me through the MS install and help install said solenoid, I could take out the Truboost and put it in the wife's car :)
|
Good luck with the install, and i'm glad my BOV found a good home
|
|
^ haha

Well, him coming to Augusta to help may be wishful thinking on my part, as it's about a 2 hour drive for him and I don't know what he'd get out of it other than the satisfaction of helping a fellow Miataphile.
He may not need to if I say "screw it" and buy a PNP... |
